An investigation by three Republican congressmen has revealed the Obama administration has secretly spent $23 million of U.S. taxpayer dollars in Kenya to fund a "Yes" vote on a constitutional referendum scheduled for Aug. 4 that would increase access to abortions in Kenya and establish legal status for Islamic law tribunals.
Meanwhile, trusted sources in Kenya tell WND that the White House has used Vice President Joseph Biden's trip to Kenya in June and the office of U.S. Ambassador to Kenya Michael E. Ranneberger to put out the message that passage of the referendum would enable the White House to open the floodgates to allow millions of dollars of additional U.S. government aid and private investment capital to flow into Kenya.

a little redistribution for the home team
You can’t go home again......but you can send other people’s money.
Wow.
Free abortions AND Islam for all.
Quite a combination.....................
Seems to me the constitution limits spending of public funds to congressional action. This sounds a little bit like a Ferdinand Marcos move cloaked in illegal diplomacy.
Will this get any traction in the MSM/LMS? You’ve got to be kidding!
Another Democrat slush fund. This is what happens when Congress appropriates money and doesn’t specify where it goes. This $23M is probably just out of the Dept. of State’s general budget.
And this can be done at the Dept of State without raising a single eyebrow?

Tip of the iceberg.
This is what Obama has done while Americans lose their jobs and their homes:
Obama’s 2009 Supplemental Appropriations for Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Pandemic Flu was revised and “passed by the full committee.” Not sure what the next step is, but based on the summary, it gives billions http://creepingsharia.wordpress.com/2009/05/13/obamas-supplemental-bill-passes-gives-billions-to-enemies/
of U.S. taxpayer dollars to countries and entities that support Sharia law and/or harbor, hide and support those who want to destroy the U.S. and our allies.
Read the summary from David Obey’s office that was quietly released last week with nary a word from any media.
• $3.6 billion, matching the request, to expand and improve capabilities of the Afghan security forces
• $400 million, as requested, to build the counterinsurgency capabilities of the Pakistani security forces
• Afghanistan: $1.52 billion, $86 million above the request
• West Bank and Gaza: $665 million in bilateral economic, humanitarian, and security assistance for the West Bank and Gaza
• Jordan: $250 million, $250 million above the request, including $100 million for economic and $150 million for security assistance
• Egypt: $360 million, $310 million above the request, including $50 million for economic assistance, $50 million for border security, and $260 million for security assistance

• Lebanon: $74 million
• International Food Assistance: $500 million, $200 million above the request, for PL 480 international food assistance to alleviate suffering during the global economic crisis
• Refugee Assistance: $343 million, $50 million above the request, …including humanitarian assistance for Gaza. Funding for the UN Relief and Works Agency programs in the West Bank and Gaza is limited to $119 million (Note: Gaza = Hamas)
• Disaster Assistance: $200 million to avert famines and provide life-saving assistance during natural disasters and for internally displaced people around the world, including Somalia, Zimbabwe, Ethiopia, the Middle East and South Asia
• Peacekeeping: $837 million for United Nations peacekeeping operations, including an expanded mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and a new mission in Chad and the Central African Republic
• Department of Justice: $17 million, matching the request, for counter-terrorism activities and to provide training and assistance for the Iraqi criminal justice system
The mainstream media remains silent on this but the International News http://www.thenews.com.pk/top_story_detail.asp?Id=22164
has now picked up the story — and then there is Obama’s $108 billion IMF bailout scheme http://michellemalkin.com/2009/05/13/obamas-100-billion-imf-bailout-scheme/
in addition to the Supplemental.

Grounds for impeachment. Zero will be so entangled in impeachment hearings next year, I just hope there is time to spend on saving our economy.
Sure. Apparently Congress long ago abdicated its fiscal oversight reponsibility, among its many other criminal actions in the past few decades. Not that the current Congressional majority really minds the money being spent for abortions in Kenya, mind you.

I hope not. Better to elect enough Republicans to effectively neuter him, then watch him twist in the wind in frustration for the next 2 years.
Trust me, if the electorate takes control of Congress away from 0, it'll be with the intent of neutralizing him, not impeaching him. Any attempts to impeach will result in 2012 election losses for the Republicans -- just as happened in the 1998 midterms in the wake of the Xlinton impeachment.
Better to just spend the next 2 years highlighting the most egregious aspects of the 0 program, while driving home the message of who is responsible for the programs, and how they are hurting the economy and the well-being of average Americans.
